About

The London String Quartet was Britain’s leading chamber ensemble for two decades and 2010 marked the centenary of its first concerts. Equally well known in America, this collection includes five programmes performed at the Library of Congress from 1943 to 1951, issued here for the first time. The collection includes well known works, as well as more obscure ones by Bridge, Kreisler and Foster.
